Whereas intermarriage between Hutu and Tutsi is common, it is extremely rare between Twa and other groups. |
This incendiary rhetoric, Chege believes, helped fuel the Rwandan civil war of 1994 in which 850,000 Tutsi died. |
In May 2000, the Rwandan National Ballet toured the United States with Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa performers in a display of national unity. |
The Tutsi were originally cattle herders, although much of the labor of caring for their cattle was done by the Hutu. |
As in Rwanda, the fighting in Burundi pits the ethnic minority Tutsi against the majority Hutu. |
The Hutu have much in common with the other peoples of these countries, the Tutsi and the Twa. |
